Ugh, this is so creepy but I remember thinking you were The Coolest since you were a reg back on (p&)e. I was a filthy, filthy lurker back when that board was lively and interesting. My opinion of you has not changed.

I don't need to know I'm a regular. I know I am, even if my posting has dropped off dramatically in the last few months. 1,500 posts was a lot more impressive back in, say, August.

[Deleted]

I recognize very few people.

[mskitkat]

I'm trying to take myself out of lurker status, but I know I'm not there yet.

Oh please. 😄

You've been gone too long!!

And yet I sense I'm not missing much with these new "regulars."

Too far?

Probably.

This is pretty much exactly why we need you!

LOL. Hi, rikki. I hope you are doing well.

Hi Miso! I am, thanks! Hope you're well, too! Come visit at least once in a while.

See, you guys are better off without me.

All these newbs are so happy and carefree now!

Lol.

How does the thread start with someone averaging over 800 posts questioning her status though ?

That was not a personal ouch. Sure, I would like for Miso to like me. And I think she does, at least mildly, she just doesn't know it. But, more of a don't leave the board and then come back and insult newer posters because how in the hell are we supposed to pick back up if everyone is afraid to post because they think they're boring?

I also don't understand the question? Crackhabit has over 5000 posts, and I don't think she was questioning her status. I'm confused and/or slow. Probably both.

[Deleted]

They shouldn't be afraid.

This is just a drive-by.

[Deleted]

Well you should drive by more often. Then I'd be more welcoming of your insults.

Don't get me wrong, I agree that the board has been boring. It just felt like you were insulting specific posters.

[Deleted]

Now I kinda just want to pop in every so often ONLY WITH INSULTS.

[Deleted]

I am a name change and I think she liked me under my old name. At least she said so once!

I hope it doesn't but it feels like we are a sinking ship and I don't want that! Plus, she said herself it was too far and posted it anyway. I normally like that about her (that she will say things others won't), but that just seemed unkind.

Ah, gotcha. I was confused by the 800 posts versus in the thousands.

Today I've been called "scary" and "unkind."

w00t!

Well now this is a tease. I was mostly off the board for 9ish months and I always have this sneaking suspicion that half the people I think are newbies are actually people I know, only I wasn't around much when the board switch happened so I missed the name change announcements. :-( First world internet message board problems.

Anyway applesauce, if you feel like spilling....

You're also a elderly.

[Deleted]

If I thought you as a person were unkind, I wouldn't even bother responding. You're not. It was just an unkind thing to say, IMO.

[Kore]

I remember that sentiment being expressed by the former elders when I was new to MM. It was definitely a bummer. I decided to pull the "kill them with kindness" strategy, & went over the top with compliments & emoticons til people recognized me as a contributor. lol.

Don't scare off the new blood! They look up to & fear you :-(

[curbsideprophet]

I recognize most of the names on the post, however I can not say if it is from here or MMM.

I'm so glad that you weren't scared off! See you guys, these could be new Kores in the making!

I get feeling maybe I lurk more than I realize and only respond to posts in my head since it's a pain to swype that much on my droid. I really don't post much that is memorable though. I guess subconsciously laying low or something.

[Raggedeannie]

Another lurky-loo checking in - I used to post a lot more before the switch from TN but the switch combined with a new job assignment in Southeast Asia have limited my nesting time. :-( :-(

I do!

I recognize everyone in this thread, but I lurk a ton more than I post, so I am not sure if I qualify.

Of course you do And Applesauce, you have the cutest siggy pic, I recognize your posts from that.

This is me, too. I was so proud when I figured out who CloudBee was. I missed most of the name changes.

Mine is the same. Why can't everyone be like me? Lol.

I think I'm a regular? On and off?
